All.The.Soccer.

Hi friends!! Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was filled with lots of sunshine, soccer, and chili!! ‘Tis the season!

On Friday night I went to my friends’ house for a gathering, and I had this great vegan sweet potato chili. Plus cheese plate deliciousness and a few glasses of vino.

Saturday morning after breakfast I took Mazen to soccer practice. But first: toast, banana, PB, coffee.

This was the first practice I had the chance to go to (Matt, rain, rain, travel covered the first month) and I was SO EXCITED to see how it went!

Coach B had a whistle and the kids did really cute little drills. Mazen did great and followed directions! I was so tempted to step in and practice a little myself. Lord knows I need some help with my touches and dribbling 😉

The kiddos scrimmaged with another team at the end of practice, and Mazen was not into that at all. He doesn’t really understand the concept of opponents yet and why the other kids don’t share the ball. It’s quite cute.

Soccer moms represent!! I also met two blog readers whose kids are on Mazen’s team – hi friends!

After practice we went home to rest for a bit and then out to lunch at Whole Foods to pick pumpkins! I had hoped to take M to a real pumpkin patch, but for various reasons, this was our best option. He didn’t seem to mind, as we had fun strolling the rows and picking two out. He made ghost noises the whole time!

Although don’t you find this sign a bit confusing?! Lol! Guess they are the same shape : )

I got lunch at the hot bar – pecan catfish, green beans, okra, and the best sweet potato casserole.

Saturday afternoon we played construction worker and M built this big pillow house in his bedroom.

I dropped M off with Matt while I went to a make-up soccer game at 4:30 at the same field where I had gone for Mazen’s practice that morning. It was blustery and chilly, and really hard to tell the difference between the red team and the orange team with the setting sun in our eyes! No subs = 90 minutes of game time.

Saturday evening after Mazey was asleep I made panko cod, roasted broccoli and rosemary red potatoes for dinner.

Sunday morning I was up for more soccer. French toast, toddler style! I know it’s not the most polite, but it sure is easier to eat if you cut it all up at once first 😉

I had back-to-back games, although I only played the second half of the first one so I didn’t have to rush out the door.  It was a gorgeous day for soccer!! My team pulled off an epic win, and we think we have moved to the #1 spot in our division. A big deal since we hovered at the bottom for the longest time!

GO TEAM!

I spent the rest of my Sunday on the couch with aching legs and stiff joints. Rest day today for sure!

Guess what thiiiiis isssss?!*

Chili and cornbread (and, er, butter) at a friend’s house. One of my very favorite dinner combos!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
